The more leaders understand their preferred leadership styles and are able to flexibly switch to the most suitable style given the situation, the more effective they will be. This book maps out ten sets of opposite leadership styles, giving the reader the possibility to understand the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, and to identify his/her own current preference. Readers are invited to draw up their own leadership development plans, supported by an interactive App, and challenged to reflect on how they would approach a number of cases. Leadership Agility is a useful tool for practitioners in the corporate world as well as business students and emerging leaders.
